Family Guide to Supporting Young People’s Mental Health and Well-Being
INFORMATION, TIPS, AND RESOURCES
Over the last few years, the mental health crisis impacting young people has steadily intensified. However, families, schools, and community partners can work together to support young people’s mental health and well-being. Schools and other education organizations can provide personal support, resources, and information to students—and their parents or other caregivers—to help with at-home strategies to support their children.
The purpose of this guide is to provide parents and other caregivers with information and easy-to-use strategies to support their children’s overall well-being and mental health. The guide also includes warning signs to look for in children and teens, tips for talking to them about their mental health, and resources forgetting help.

Helping Youth Succeed
A Resource for Families, Teachers and the Community
Check out this amazing resource guide, compiled by the Siskiyou County Office of Education, based on the results of the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS). It is full of wonderful tools and tips to support students with physical, mental and emotional health. The guide is based around the 40 Developmental Assests, prosocial strengths and competencies that support humans to find success and fulfillment in their relationships, areas of interest, and self-esteem. The categories of the 40 Developmental Assets, presented by The Search Institute, are:
Support
Empowerment
Boundaries and Expectations
Constructive Use of Time
Commitment to Learning
Positive Values
Social Competencies
Positive Identity
Through cultivation and practice of these assets, students, families and educators will be better able to rise to the challenges presented to our youth today and stay connected with community and personal resources that uplift them and help them thrive!
Free Mental Health Support for all Californians
Open to Students, Parents, Caregivers, Teachers, and School Staff
The AlterCareLine is a warm line for mental health support that functions the way you might think of a hotline, but you don't need to be in an emergency situation to call this number.
This is an opportunity for us to get the support we need BEFORE we get to a crisis point, with the general understanding that everyone needs a little support sometimes and everyone is facing challenges in some way or another in these modern times. Many of us have it stacking...one thing after another, after another, after another...when do we get to take a breath?
And when you finally have that moment to reach out to talk to someone, you end up leaving messages on 5 different voicemails around Siskiyou County before giving up and watching a funny show instead. The AlterCareLine has set out to change that by making mental support free to all Californians and available 24/7 for services in the areas of emotional support, crisis assessment, goal setting, coping skills, resources, support groups, LGBTQ support, and substance use recovery.
Think of it as preventative medicine--if you are just feeling that tug that talking to someone would help--or, perhaps it may the light at the end of the tunnel after a period of waiting to take this step in persevering through challenges.
